The specific embodiment
The present invention and aforesaid several aspect thereof will frequently be described at this, with reference to as heat exchanger in fuel cell system to fuel stream or oxidant stream or both humidifications.Yet, should be appreciated that use of the present invention is not limited to fuel cell system.On the contrary, can be used in equally in some application like this, wherein a kind of heat-exchange fluid forms heat exchange with the second gaseous state heat-exchange fluid that is become by the liquid evaporation and gets in touch.In common situation, liquid is aqueous materials, and for example water is in the evaporation of gaseous fluid but the present invention can effectively be applied in non-aqueous feedstock conversion equally.Therefore, except what explain in the dependent claims, the present invention is not limited to aqueous materials and/or fuel cell system.
See Fig. 1 now, show a kind of according to heat exchanger of the present invention.This heat exchanger comprises a core component, refers to by 10 usually, and it is by a plurality of stacked plates, and fin and spacer bar constitute, and it will be described below.In the time of for example in being applied in fuel cell system, it can be made with the opposing corrosion by parts of stainless steel.
Diffuser 12 at core component 10 1 ends comprises that a reception will be by the inlet 14 of the gas of humidification.In the situation of fuel cell system, this gas can be fuel, more specifically say so and be rich in the air-flow of hydrogen, and also can be oxidant, the rich oxygen containing air-flow of more specifically saying so.In any case, in diffuser 12, provide a tubule 16 that ends at a nozzle 18.Aqueous materials is typically water in fuel cell system, injected fuel gas or the oxidant stream that enters diffuser 12 with evaporation and moistening input.
At the relative end of core component 10 and diffuser 12, a current collector 20 is installed, and the air-flow of dewing is transported to the point that uses or further handle.
Core component 10 comprises the inner flow passage that is used for heat-exchange fluid, and heat-exchange fluid can be liquid state or gaseous state, and this passage forms heat exchange with the flow channel that comprises the humid gas that is used for heat-exchange fluid and gets in touch.Arrow 22 has schematically shown an inlet for this reason, and arrow 24 has schematically shown an outlet.Preferably but not like this all the time, the fluid of heat is promptly discharged in flowing of first heat-exchange fluid in core component 10, will be against second flow of heat exchange fluid, and second heat-exchange fluid just will be by moistening gaseous state heat-exchange fluid.
See Fig. 2 now, the composition of core component 10 will be by detailed description.It comprises a plurality of in opposed side by spacer bar 32 isolated imperforate plates 30.This plate 30 is that first heat-exchange fluid and second heat-exchange fluid have defined the flow channel that replaces.As shown in Figure 2, the first flow of heat exchange fluid passage refers to by 34, and the second flow of heat exchange fluid passage refers to by 36.The flow direction of each is represented by arrow.
Suitable top cover is installed in diffuser 12 and the relative two ends of current collector 20 place's core components, as known in the art.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, wherein second fluid flowing passage 36 comprises by moistening gaseous state heat-exchange fluid, and the heat exchange and the evaporation reinforcement of elongated serpentine fins 38 forms are provided.Thereby the relative peak 40 of fin 38 bonds to plate 30 by soldering and defines flow channel 36, particularly, is connected on plate 30 surfaces of flow channel 36.
The apparent surface of plate 30 is towards flow channel 34, and it can provide or not provide reinforcement as required.Reinforcement can comprise fin, perhaps tubular pocket or burr or the like, and these are known in the field.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, plate 30 is equipped with water-wetted surface towards the surface of flow channel 36 or the surface or the both of the serpentine fins 38 in flow channel 36.Therefore, they are easy to the moistening and diffusion moisture by the water that enters with air-flow from nozzle 18, evenly pass passage 36 with liquid state simultaneously.Obtained sizable improvement with less relatively capacity to humidification.
Fig. 3 and 4 substantially the same, what represent except Fig. 3 is to be applied in 30 1 lip-deep water-wetted surfaces of plate, and Fig. 4 represents is the water-wetted surface that is applied on the fin 38, water-wetted surface is made of many common spherical particles 50 as can be seen, and all enough I that its size can be different but all usually are to be classified as powder.This spherical particle 50 is nominal spheres and need not be accurate sphere.Yet, can think the easier raising that reaches evaporation efficiency when real spherical.
In any case, particulate 50 is bonded to together by the brazing metal that is powder type equally.Brazing metal also is bonded to particulate 50 in the substrate, and according to circumstances, substrate is plate 30 or fin 38 just, perhaps both.Because the shape of particulate 50 exists many interconnected interstices 52 between particulate 50; These spaces provide hydrophily for coating.
A preferred form of nominal spheres particulate refers to the commercial ceramic/metal powder that can be obtained by Metco 461NS.Its major function composition comprises nickel, chromium, aluminium, cobalt and yittrium oxide.This raw material thinks to have following percentage by weight component: aluminium 5.5%, and cobalt 2.5%, yittrium oxide 0.5%, silicon 1.0%, manganese 2.0%, chromium 17.5%, iron 0.5%, nickel 67.0%, other are 3.5% years old.
That uses is soldered to particulate 50 mutually together and it is brazed to commercial can the acquisition by the BNi-5 brazing powder of braze metal powder on substrate 30 or 38, and it is thought and is made up of following component in percentage by weight: 19.0% chromium; 10.2% silicon; All the other are nickel except the spike raw material, and the spike raw material comprises cobalt, carbon, aluminium, titanium, zirconium, boron, phosphorus, sulphur, selenium, oxygen molecule and nitrogen molecular, and all these total amounts are 0.1% or still less.
Generally speaking, the ratio range between the percentage by weight of the percentage by weight of spherical particle 50 and braze metal powder is approximately 2-3: 1.Preferably select among the embodiment at one, spherical particle 50 is about 70: 30 with the weight rate of braze metal powder.Such an embodiment is contemplated to 69: 31 ratio.
Braze metal powder is activated in brazing temperature, and at each metal parts of this temperature core component 10, just metallic plate 30, and spacer bar 32 and fin 38 are soldered to together.Therefore, comprise spherical particle, the coating composition of braze metal powder and adhesive composition can be applied to metallic plate 30 towards passage 36 or fin 38 or both surfaces in its uncured state, in its uncured state, core 10 assemblies are placed in anchor clamps or the clamping device with attaching parts not in common mode then and keep together, and place under the brazing temperature then.For intensity that strengthens the soldering tie point and the uniformity that promotes stacked size, coating is removed or makes on its peak that is not coated in fin.Brazing temperature can be finished three functions then, promptly presses assembly relation braze welding of metal parts is arrived together, makes braze metal powder that spherical particle 50 is connected together and be connected to their substrate 30 and 38, and the binding agent that volatilizees.In normal conditions, fabulous bonding will be obtained, when fusing because braze metal powder can diffuse in particulate 50 and the substrate 30,38 and fabulous bonding is provided.In normal conditions, the composition of being determined by ceramic/metal powder and braze metal powder utilized organic binder bond to hold it in suprabasil appropriate location before soldering.Organic binder bond in the fusion temperature of braze metal powder or when being lower than this temperature slightly reality volatilize fully.Therefore, organic binder bond does not have residue, can not make the residue influence by particulate 50 and their definite hydrophilies that the slit provided.
In common situation, the target fin surface feeding quantity preferably be about 150-200 gram/square metre.Yet, also can allow higher feeding quantity.In some cases, the hydrophilicity according to expectation also can allow lower feeding quantity.
The expectation coating is used by impregnation technology always and is produced about 0.001 inch-0.0015 inch thickness with the both sides at fin.Expect that more coatings applications is optional (nonobtrusive) to water wet raw material and active gases by fin, that is to say that being less than 10% fin channels in a side is descended to reduce pressure on stifled by coating.
Also expect the peak of fin, promptly form the peak 40 of fin rightabout so that wave shaped radiator to be provided at batten, to assembly is optional, that is to say that this assembly is to be firmly bonded to adjacent plate 30 by metallurgy, to guarantee good heat-conductive characteristic between fin 38 and plate 30.This needs outer surface, and the convex surface at the peak 40 of fin 38 is coatings not fully in other words.
In order to obtain aforementioned purpose, fin section is weighed by degreasing and off-line.After this, this fin section immerses in the slurries that mix hydrophilic coating composition (metal/ceramic powder, braze metal powder and binding agent) continuously.From then on this fin section is taken out in the slurries then and is dried immediately.Blowing slight air-flow on this fin so that consistent distribution the on the degree of depth of slurries at this fin after this.After that, the peak of fin, just the top 40, more specifically are by wiped clean of slurry at its lateral surface.This can be realized by rag, perhaps can be realized by sand papering after slurries become dry if desired.
Suppose that the cleaning at before slurries become dry fin peak or top 40 finishes, this fin section is then 110 ℃ of oven dry and weighed to guarantee to have obtained the feeding quantity of expectation.
Aforesaid sequence of steps is in order to limit, and opposite, is in order openly to obtain the present invention's optimal mode of the coatings applications of expection at present.
Should be noted that in some cases slurries can be first-selected but flood by spraying or being rolled onto on the fin.
Organic binder bond is not crucial especially.Organic binder bond should use with enough quantity, so that can not lose adhesion before the final assembling of humidifier.Usually, the binder content that approximates coating composition gross weight 20-23% can reach this purpose.Simultaneously, binding agent should be complete thermal degradation, does not have residue in fact in relevant brazing temperature, is 600 ℃ to stainless steel structure for example.In addition, when coating is passed through immersion coating, the viscosity approximate extents of slurries 70 °F should be 2-3 centipoise (powder be suspended in the binding agent fully), like this so that when by immersion coating, obtain the powder feeding quantity of expectation, even have an opportunity to flow away from fin section at the dipping rear slurry.Certainly, when coating applies by other modes rather than pass through dipping, for example spray or roller coat, other viscosity also can be suitable.Acrylic acid series for example, the polypropylene carbonic ester, the raw material of propane diols monomethyl ether acetate (propyleneglycol monomethylether acetate) and other acetate and n-propyl bromide and their composition is suitable to binding agent usually.Binding agent based on acrylic acid series is first-selected.
The concrete weight rate that has been found that nominal spheres particulate 50 and braze metal powder is within above-mentioned scope, and is clearer and more definite, and the ratio at approximate 70: 30 provides the combination of perfect intensity and water-wet behavior.If to the composition use brazing metal still less of same weight, with obtaining stronger hydrophily, because the particulate 50 of greater number is arranged in coating.Yet the brazing metal of smaller amounts means that adhesion strength will reduce, according to using it to produce adverse influence to the life-span of heat exchanger.Opposite, when the ratio that is coated in the braze metal powder in the same weight combinations thing of given surf zone is risen, nominal spheres particulate 50 still less will be arranged, and hydrophily will be reduced slightly in final coating.Therefore, remarkable characteristic of the present invention be coating as whole portion parts of its substrate by permanent bond to substrate.In fact, have been found that before heat exchanger is put in substrate, to form coating and it is soldered to suprabasil example, can after applying water-wetted surface, not lose its an any adhesively heat exchange enhancing of formation structure, for example pit or burr in plate.In fact, in such a case, substrate itself may be broken before the water-wetted surface bonding loses.
On those characteristics that nominal spheres particulate 50 can be described in front some changes are arranged.They can form by gas atomization or other any methods that can produce small nominal spheres.Spherical size can not influence hydrophily especially, as long as particulate is enough little, 52 pairs in the slit that forms between the particulate 50 has capillary dimensions with evaporated liquid in heat exchanger.
The shape of braze metal powder particulate is unessential, because brazing metal fusing and actual dispersion enter in cermet particulate and the substrate as previously mentioned.
The basic standard that forms the raw material of particulate 50 is that its raw material to contact with it has decay resistance, with it Jie Chu raw material air-flow and with the liquid that is evaporated for example.This raw material also should keep the bonding and the water ability that can obtain and provide good in a period of time.The oxidation of particulate is not extremely expected.
The metal/ceramic powder adds that the concrete use of brazing metal expects very much, if because compare with the situation that replaces their to use by metal particle fully, and the more torpescence of nominal spheres particulate 50 performances.
From foregoing, be appreciated that the present invention can perfectly use in the various aspects of heat exchanger, comprise as heat exchanger,, and use in the method for making heat exchanger as the composition that water-wetted surface is provided in heat exchange or evaporative applications.
